FYP Research Projecs

Adrianna, you were missing today, but not to worry. We discussed some ideas about a potential project on masculine honour, which each of you can tackle from different angles. The overarching idea that we came up with is to show that the social context (particularly, high violence and conflicts) is important in increasing value/preference for more traditional honour-related qualities in men (toughness, bravery, ability to defend himself, and protect others close to him). 

So far we thought of looking at 1) whether women rate honour-related traits and behaviors as more important in men as sexual/romantic mates, 2) whether women (and men) prefer to raise their sons with more honour-related traits and qualities when there is more violence and potential for threats from outsiders versus when there is not (in a peaceful context). We can run projects along these ideas.

As promised, I am sending you the primary readings on masculine and culture of honour threat. These can help you familiarize with the topic and the background of our project. 

In the book pdf that I attached by Vandello & Cohen (2004) chapter 12, search for the chapter titled When Believing Is Seeing: Sustaining Norms of Violence in Cultures of Honor.
Also question marks before the article names do not mean anything.

We will meet all of us again in September, and hopefully set up the studies on Qualtrics for data collection ideally in October.
